I really hope MCH gets a little love. I'm not asking for it to be OP like it was during the end of HW, but it's the most fun DPS for me right now even with the most recent heat changes. More damage and some more support options. Make them different from BRD so you gave different options. Maybe a party wide DH buff or attack speed instead of critical hit while up keeping certain conditions

O-Oh, you know, Zodiark. Lich also had a 100% EXP bonus but I felt Zodiark would be a better choice after looking it up on Google. The only other two with bonuses were, like, 2 weeks old, and so I didn't find any worthwhile mention of them on Google. I wonder if playing on a brand new server is a good idea or not.

So if they made a job that was horribly boring and diapointing to play, provided no support, loked and sounded like shit, and had all sorts of mechanics clearly not designed around each other to the point where everybody felt like it was a fucking mess, BUT they gave it a gcd skill with 1000 potency that they could spam and ignore all of their other skills, you'd say it was fine because they parsed like 8000, despite the objectively bad design?

This is what dragoon is right now. Sure, its numbers are alright, I guess, but its design is such a fucking mess.

I'm on that server, too. I joined a small FC a while back and made a gay friend who later on invited me to a linkshell in which I met his friends. Now I'm moving around from (small) FC to FC meeting others. I find the majority annoying as you do (XD, :3, RP, scrubs, etc) but that's inevitable since we dwell in this shit hole.
Anyway point I'm trying to make is that you ought to be more accepting, patient, and that small FCs are your best bet. If you find someone you like then give them attention (this game's population is entirely composed of attention-craving show-offs) and invite them to play with you until it becomes the norm to run shit together.

I don't mind :3 but there's something about xD that rubs me the wrong way. I'm a scrub, unfortunately. I suppose I could try and be more accepting. Maybe it's just because I haven't unlocked all the areas of the game yet but I swear to God there's only about 15-20 FCs on the entire server. Such little variation. I can't go a single day without seeing a single member of each and every one of them and I never see members of any others. I guess I could try to befriend people instead of expecting them to befriend me.

Any recommendations for FCs you've liked so far? Any chance you want to be friends? I won't mind if not.

SMN has been a weird rollercoaster in XIV.

It was pretty underwhelming from what I remember in the 2.x series, requiring much more effort than something like BLM while putting out less DPS. A lot of people complained that it was more like a WoW warlock and not a true summoner or true pet job.

Those complaints got even louder when HW came out and no new pets, egi or otherwise were added. However, in the 3.x series, SMN worked much better mechanically with the addition of dreadwyrm trance, ruin 3 and deathflare and all that than it during the 2.x time period. Now people mostly just complained about it aesthetically since functionally it performed quite well. I think that's why the cries for egi glamour over other changes were so prevalent during this time.

Then SB rolls around and now SMN is this weird in between of butchering the dots and playstyle from the HW-era to focus on the Bahamut thing and appease the pet people, but the Bahamut is underwhelming in every way except visual and its so limited that the pet people are still unhappy. The people that liked the dot style now have a raped Bane and Deathflare that are shadows of their former selves and are now largely just Ruin mages. Now neither party is happy and the job just sucks.

SE is gonna have to take a hard stance on what they want SMN to be when the next expansion rolls around. They can't please both crowds and have the job still work. It requires too many compromises on both ends.

Not to mention their hesitance to make changes to core skills because of how it effects SCH and vice versa. That's been a thorn in their side since 2.0.

Almost seems like they'd be better off splitting either SCH or SMN from ACN and then doing whatever the fuck they wanted with the job that was split and then rebalance the one that remained knowing that its only going to one job.

Just make it an actual summoner and not pet job. Let you summon the lesser Egi's but make them more powerful, no hp bars so they can't die, and make them last like 15 seconds excel at different things. (Ifrit for ST dps, Garuda for AoE, Titan for stuns and slows). Then have Bahamut be completely independent when he gets called down, not an invisible tethered puppy.

>Almost seems like they'd be better off splitting either SCH or SMN from ACN and then doing whatever the fuck they wanted with the job that was split and then rebalance the one that remained knowing that its only going to one job.

This would probably be the best thing. Leave SCH with ACN and make SMN its own thing. I'm sorry, I don't care what the "lore" or whatever says to justify the ACN stuff, a summoner type class shouldn't be a DoT spammer with an impotent minion. If I wanted a WoW warlock, I'd fucking play WoW.

My ideal SMN job would be one that has its normal spells that let it build up to summoning strong creatures, maybe something similar to Bahamut but not entirely underwhelming. Either that, or have the job revolve around buffing its pets and amplifying their capabilities.

I supposed you're going to see more FCs as you get to the end-game idle zone. Frankly, I can't recommend any of the (3) FCs I've been in except maybe the current one because it's just me and 2 others that know each other irl. The company board literally has "meme" in it, though, so take that as you like.

It's obvious the original design was to have more complicated pets and pet control, so to allow for this to happen they gave the smn a very basic rotation; dots and ruin spam. Then they went back on making Egis complex, and never gave smn anything real until hw. But the artifact of "pet class with dots and one skill" remain because of it.

there isn't too big a price difference between the two, and with a 1070 you'd be getting a roughly 40% power increase over a 1060. if you have the dosh, go for the 1070. it's a solid card and should last you a good solid few years.
otherwise, a 1060 will be more than enough.

NIN starts to become really fun once you get the frog skill at 62

Anything after doesn't change much anymore, it just complicates your cooldown management a bit. Then again Ten Chi Jin however at 70 is also very nice because it's quite different from the other dps cooldowns NIN has access to, is versatile, but needs to be used smartly or it will just go to waste.

Overall I'd say as soon as you get Ninki gauge that's like 95% of NIN already.
>>
There won't be any balancing changes. MCH can outdps bard, it's just much much much much harder than any other class to play right now. SMN may deserve a slight damage buff since it sits at RDM dps but has less utility, but I doubt it will get any. If youre group is lacking dps to clear, gear and practice will cover the difference.

That mostly depends on how you look at it, in terms of pure "how tricky is it to mechanically do your job" you're right, but healers and tanks have more moving pieces that they're responsible for (keeping the boss/mobs under control or keeping the other retards alive) and generally when they fuck up the price is a lot higher than "oops dropped some damage".

Well, to be fair
In all the pre-release trailers, in the data leaked skills
It really did look like Dark knight was getting fucked over and over
I mean fuck look at the job trailer, at the time, it was being compared to paladin's actual good looking moves and mini holy, and haha 4 meme cleaves.
Dark's looked so awful, then we find out that almost all of its ogcds got fucked
>>
>>386407205
only 4 jobs really. BLM has a low representation because it's not a good progression class compared to the broken support RDM brings, however it's still SAM-tier DPS for when you got a fight on farm status.
>>
>>386406724
Most cds is WAR. Most beneficial to MT is DRK. PLD is the defacto OT as of 4.0

You spam 123 and then spam it harder once a minute. MCH has the most braindead dps rotation.
>>
>>386407430
It's ok at 70 but all the changes they did to the 60 and below skills make the class feel like garbage when leveling it.
>>
>>386407748
WAR is now the highest DPS by a big margin rather than being 3 DPS lower than MT DRK without AOE like it was in HW.
The reason nobody brings it in prog is because it has zero utility while the other two tanks have retarded utility.

>>386407748
War still does the most dps out of all the tanks at every percentile on fflogs. Just absolute shitters who were used to spamming storm's eye in HW were shit on and now the job is actually challenging so it's less popular now. I'm personally hoping people complain more so that my dps is even higher above the other two tanks than it is now.
>>
>>386407808

It's wishful thinking, but I'm hoping they turn shake it off into something that gives us a bit more utility in 4.1. Still, I'm happy with the changes that were done in 3.05, makes WAR a lot more fluid to play, only other change I would like is make Unchained and Inner Release separate cooldowns.

You'll have to buy the shatter on, it's worth the money. Make sure you start the assist bot and set your filters otherwise you bot may not attack.

Also, there's an option to auto log you in. just enter your character data (name, data center, server) that way in case you get error 9k you can jump back in and not lose a day of botting.

SCH is pretty damn strong at 70 now, it's just that it's strength is now more of an oGCD healer. It also takes a bit of getting used to at 70, as my friend described it you pay more attention to the overall fight and when damage is known to happen rather than just watching hp bars, cast heals for when the damage happens or is going to happen, spend the rest of the time doing dps.

No. It is VERY stressful. Savage is for masochistically inclined people who are looking for mechanics based challenges like me. Just do the normal/story-mode raids as intended when you get around to them.

No. If we were back in the days of Coil the answer would be yes because there never used to be an easy story mode, but Omega Savage is almost identical to Omega normal aesthetically so if you value novelty its pretty much pointless.

i'd recommend trying the first floor, it's about EX trial difficulty
if you like it, try the second which is a little harder but doable
o3-4s probably wont be your thing at all though

if you like it that's cool, and if you don't then at least you tried and know for sure, right?
>>
>>386412861
I do PvP. Then buy gear with Marks. Then desynth it and then sell the materials.
>>
>>386412968
No, Savage is literally just a difficulty setting, the only thing you miss out on is experiencing high end boss fights and gear
>>
>>386412629
In Savage V4 and A8S, at least, the fights are entirely different from story mode. BJ has a new transformation in the savage fight, and Neo Exdeath (who does have a theme of his own) only shows up in Savage.

Neo Exdeath by himself is enough of a reason to face savage Deltascape, if you care at all about fighting him.

>>386412968
>Am I missing out on anything if I DON"T do savage?

That's what you're missing out on.

Infusions, depending on your server they sell for 15k each. 1 craft of them gives you 3 and a savage raider will rinse through up to 60 a night, depending on their Job and wipes.

Can't I just go back to savage fights unsynced once better gear comes out? I'll probably do that if so, since I play this game to relax
>>
>>386412328
it's the bare minimum if you want to clear the fight comfortably
>>
>>386413297
You could, but there will be little to no people left doing them. Don't stress out about clearing them. There is literally zero story difference between Normal/Savage. If you want a step up on difficulty coming off casual/story playstyle, best you start with Extreme Primals.
>>
why are steam messages suddenly starting to show up in my screenshots?
new computer so im not sure what setting changed
>>
>>386413297
There's literally nothing stopping you from doing that, but by that time you might as well not bother because there will be almost zero interest.
The people that clear the fights when they're relevant are the people who care about them, the ones who don't, don't care. Also if you want to unsync any SB raids you'll be waiting until the next expansion.
You either do it now or you just don't bother.
>>
>>386413297
Yes, people often use PF to recruit people and farm them for glamour/mounts.
>>
>>386413297
Yes, but it's not the same fight at all in many cases, with phase skipping in many fights changing how they unfold.

And as far as I can tell, A12S might be undoable later on as we get stronger. You need LB3 to survive the ultimate, but killing both Time and Might doesn't fill all 3 gauges.

Tbh, I hope they keep it this way and force people to sync at least one fight.

You can but good luck getting a party together.
That's the hardest part about clearing savage: finding 7 people that don't play like a Parkinson's patient coming off heavy anaesthetic after a botched corneal transplant. If you can wrangle 7 people that display the capability of learning from mistakes, you're laughing, but even one idiot and it becomes impossible.

FYI I did the math and you have basically a 0.72% chance of rolling a non-retarded team (assuming there's a 50:50 shot the random that joins your party finder listing is on the spectrum). I'm not a gambling man but I don't like those odds, so I stopped raiding

This entire post is so utterly wrong that I don't know where to begin.
First of all, nobody ever gave a fuck about the Final Witness title, not even when FCoB was relevant content.
Second of all, the only time you ever have to do "formal applications" are when you're applying for literal bleeding-edge world first progression raiding FCs and anon sure as FUCK won't be doing that.
Lastly, you can eliminate a fuckload of trial and error by just exploring multiple avenues. Having connections helps immensely, and generally the first one or two nights are indicative of what to expect from a raid group going into the future.

Not him but the tribal lore is pretty straightforward and boring.

>merchant tribe because people have to buy shit from each other or else everyone would just kill each other to extinction
>superior tribe on the hill because everyone just buys into their stories of past glory
>sheepherder tribe of sheepherders, also class warfare
>PTSD tribe who has been ravaged so badly they have to lie to themselves to excuse the constant assravaging

The most interesting parts of Azim Steppe quests were the unique named characters themselves. If the quests were more about interactions with those characters and less about National Geographic, then I would have liked it a lot more. Sun King dude was completely bland until the end when he outed itself as Mr. Ronery.

I don't understand why DP had to get gutted so violently. It's actually not even worth using anymore outside of one very specific instance: two targets, neither of which have a slashing res down debuff. Any more than 2 targets (or if a slashing debuff is present) means DP is not worth spending MP on over AD.

The reincarnation can only be seen as ERP garbage if you're already that way inclined and one of the sidequest stories in the Steppes already casts a shadow of doubt on that particular belief.

Just got 70 BLM yesterday after being a RDM faggot.

Even with no astral/enochian. How the fuck does that work I'm curious because I thought foul just dropped off when enoch dropped regardless of if you had a foul ready

>>
>>386416791

Actually her logic was more along the lines of characters who grew up from wartorn backgrounds in the Metal Gearverse. She was a drone and a slave until she saw the power structure of the world and grabbed power for herself. Then she kept on fighting and killing because thats all she knew. The soundtrack this expansion has been hit and miss, and the Revengeance soundtrack is perfect for many of these boss fights and flashbacks.

>Pretty sure anon is specifically referring to the tribe of horsefuckers which I find disgusting even though I also play a Xaela

I don't remember being any reference in the actual quests themselves. The whole point of the Sun Tribe is to show that their lore and tales have traumatized the fabric of society in unintended ways, and the only way they can evolve as a people is to move past the stereotypes and ancient beliefs.

>The reincarnation can only be seen as ERP garbage if you're already that way inclined and one of the sidequest stories in the Steppes already casts a shadow of doubt on that particular belief.

The way the tribe reacts to outsiders and to realistic assessments of the tribe's situation more or less confirms that the tribe is in on the bullshit. They only accept it as societal custom and to ease the pain of losing loved ones. They don't really buy into it, and only hate outsiders because they ruin the illusion.

Its easy to infer that she finds torture pleasurable because she was tortured herself until she broke mentally. The real tragedy is that she knows shes broken in the head.

They should make it more like FFXI but modernized. The class could revolve around summoning actual avatars and not faggot egis. People can toggle them off in graphics if they care about them getting the way. They could drain mana while their out and the SMN could have abilities that command them to do certain actions. For example, Ifrit could have 3 abilities that end up performing flaming crush. When you're out of MP, the summon disappears and the summoner casts spells to restore MP. The gauge can be used to summon Bahamut.

I don't know. Anything would be better than anything SMN has ever been in FFXIV. It's such a stupid job.

I dislike the xaela but you're making mountains out of molehills by trying to pass off some of those tribes as fetishist. Horsefuckers are but reincarnation is hardly fetishist, nor is being mute or PTSD.

You're deluded. She did it because she wanted to see him broken. If he went through with it she would watch his suffering and probably cream herself then and there, and if he didn't go through she would just kill him and that's one less doman.

No logic, just edgy hatred.

>>386418210

Fetishes are vast, therefore you can trace just about anything to fetishes. Miqo'te of the sun are fetishistic. Roegadyn are. Highlanders are. Lalafells are. Viera are. Dame knights are. Healers are. Ishgard is with its clergy. Goesetsu is a big hairy daddy bara.

Occam's razor - the simplest answer is that it's a normal and cheap strategy to give tribes some single defining detail in order to make them distinct and not literally who. "This tribe does blacksmithing", "This tribe finds the color blue to be a taboo" "This tribe are famous warriors", "This tribe produces great malk from their sheep", "This tribe shave their head except for the left side".

Bairon are the pissdrinkers and that's stupid.
Bayaqud are just invoking that novel tribal concept of polygamy with the women. I can't name one off the top of my head but I know a berber tribe or tuareg had the custom of believing sperm could hibernate - thus if a man left for 5 months and returned and his wife had only recently gotten pregnant he could believe/delude himself into thinking it was his.
Buduga are passed off as gay in a humorous way like Haurchefaunt.

Those are the worst ones, the all female tribe is just that usual Amazonian myth. The Torgud remind me of the Ethiopians who fought with Xerxes and painted themselves half bone white half red.

While I disagree with fetish-anon that all the tribes are sadpanda tags like mute or PTSD, there are definitely a few which are a bit absurd. Though I do know of forced feeding to fatten up people among tribals, the Mauretanians had fat camps where they force women to guzzle down buttermilk.

The only reason people hated her is because of where the waking sands or whatever that Scion homebase was called. No aethernet access, it had two loading screens just to reach her and very often you'd go there and she'd say some five second thing before sending you on her way. That's why I hated her when I realized it. Otherwise she's not hateable, just a little bit bland but in a good way for that motherly managerial role.

If she was based in the rising stones where it's aetherite and 1 loading screen it wouldn't be a problem.

Phrased that wrong - I hated her but I stopped hating her when I realized the reason I hated her was because of the waking sands location and pain in the ass of "Minfilia calls you over to tell you about the really pretty bird she saw before telling you to go across the world to say something to someone and come right back to her". Remove that and she's fine. I mean I loved Momodi and I love those motherly characters.

BLM still has tons of movement options between their two procs, triplecast and swiftcast. Plus they can now instantly teleport both to another player AND back to their leylines. SB BLM has more movement options than ever.

DRG needs a jump that's not a shitty animation lock fest and a boring "X potency" ogcd. Give it the classic FF jump. Let it stay in the air and become invulnerable for a while. Let it target a spot on the ground to land there. The rest of its kit needs to be redone too
>a mere 2 combos that are completely linear

>ogcds that you can't even spam

Literally the white mage of melee. It's like playing lv50 SAM.

I guess it is a script issue. Both Minfilia and Alphinaud are diplomats and strategists for the scions (and, more importantly, for you), but you never see Minfilia in action (most of her stuff happens offscreen), while you see Alphy's skills in action during HW and a good part of SB (even though his sister bullied him out of the spotlight).
Now he is torturing her with politics shit while she is recovering on purpose.

Such a jump would require you have to decide where to target within 1-2 seconds otherwise it seems unbalanced, especially if it makes you universally invulnerable. Now DRGs including me could skip out on room-wide AOEs unless you make it a limited invulnerability to melee attacks or ground AOEs.

Positionals are dogshit for sure when most classes do not have them but DRG and MNK are held to a higher standard with them (with no greater payoff for it). Make it so you are more so rewarded for obeying the positional and less punished for not doing them. Positional ought to confer extra damage on top of the average base level. I mean for fuck's sake they don't seem to consider the balance issue of a boss like Shinryuu or the floating orb from Mhach having no means to actually flank them. Maybe fang-claw/wheel-thrust should give a 25-50% chance to critically hit if you hit from the side. Or you have a % to gain an extra Dragon eye if you do the positional. Stuff more like samurai's right-position = +5 more energy.

Agreed on resource management. It's two resources that have no use except to just reach max stack.

Visually I would also make Fang-Claw and Wheeling thrust be jumps. It makes perfect sense for a jump to be the capstone to your rotation.

I find RDM's proccing to be a good way to force attention and spice up your auto-pilot rotations. Was thinking something similar with a new jump for DRG activating on some kind of proc.

Most of the scions are bland background characters who barely do anything, but Alphinaud actually ruins the game by being shoved fucking everywhere. Everything that people hate about Lyse in Stormblood, he was guilty of in ARR and HW

I'm pretty sure bosses without a facing direction are hit with positional damage by default. But yeah, they need more interesting interactions.
Also DRG is the only melee without an ability to attack faster for some reason. The other 3 all have buffs that lower their gcd.
